Chapter 411 - The Golden Mummy
Adrian, who accepted being damaged by the disaster that he caused himself, is shocked by the golden mummy that he summoned. When Kanlaon used his fire and ice shields to protect them, Sirius also used his shadows as a shield to reinforce their defenses.
The sand disaster hit their defenses and it easily breached the first shield which is the fire shield. The fire shield managed to turn some of the sand into glass, but the force of the raging sands immediately shattered it within seconds.
The sands that managed to reach the frost shield melted due to the heat transferred. The sands might not be hot enough to melt the intense cold that the frost shield, but the constant collision of the shield and sands created friction. The friction made it possible for the frost shield to slowly melt and it slowly collapsed under the bombardment of the sands.
The sands soon reached the shadow shield that Sirius made, and Adrian is about to use Soul Keep in order to protect them for a couple of seconds, but the sarcophagus of the mummy suddenly opened. Numerous bandages suddenly shot out of the sarcophagus and added another layer of defense in which not even a grain of sand slipped through.
The added layer of defense managed to stop the sand from reaching them. The only thing left to do is for them to weather out the storm. After a few minutes, Sirius reported that there is no more force colliding with his shadow shield and Kanlaon said so as well but they also reported the weight of the sad covering them.
“We managed to get by without taking damage. Thank you all of you.” Adrian thanked everyone.
The golden mummy did not respond but Adrian could feel that it nodded at him in agreement. He is still bamboozled with what he summoned because of the description.
NPC: Forgotten Golden Mummy
Level: 162
Description: A forgotten ruler in the distant past that suddenly died at the golden age of his empire. Due to no heir chosen, the queens and concubines fought for the dominion of the kingdom that ultimately led to the decline of the glorious kingdom.
Adrian only received this status card in his system notification and nothing more. He did not receive one attack command as if it were telling him that he is beneath his summon or is of equal standing. Nevertheless, the summon can only remain for three more minutes before returning.
The sands that were calm a moment ago suddenly started shaking once more. Adrian knew that the enemy has found where they were buried and wanted to attack them while they were unaware. The golden mummy suddenly shoots out the bandages in its arms while the bandage shield receded back to its sarcophagus.

Adrian knew that the golden mummy used a skill from the system notification. He then ordered Kanlaon to make a fire twister so that they could escape from being buried. Upon doing so, Adrian’s group greeted the golden emperor.
The golden emperor then ordered its remaining archers to fire at Adrian’s locations. The arrows suddenly became ablaze and is shot towards their location.
“Quantum Dispersion!” Adrian chanted as all the arrows aimed at their location became blown away due to him suddenly expanding the space above them.
“Sirius, Phantom Rush!” Adrian commanded and Sirius became freed from the restraints of time and space.
“Kanlaon, Elemental Meteor!” Adrian commanded Kanlaon to use his new skill.
Skill: Elemental Meteor

Type: Active Area of Effect
Effect: Summon meteors made of different attributes depending on the user’s own personal attribute. The whole area will be bombarded with the elemental attributes dealing damage over time. Cannot use another skill or move for ten seconds after the user uses the skill.

Kanlaon flew to the sky and suddenly disappeared into the clouds. Soon, meteors with two attributes started to descend into the battleground. The meteors are either flaming balls of fire or pure white due to being made of ice.
The golden army soldiers hit by the flaming meteors immediately melted while the ones hit by the giant ball of ice were affected by the biting frost. The meteors that do not hit an enemy either left the area ablaze or low in temperature.
“Charon, use Life Siphon!” Adrian commanded.
Charon looked at the whole army and shoot out chains from its casket. The chains were not physical in nature but ethereal in nature. The chains shot out in a whole area and attacked themselves to the golden soldiers. Charon started to siphon the life from the soldiers and started sharing it with the others.
Saena waited for the moment someone becomes low health so that she could heal them immediately. Dodu is just being cute sitting on Adrian’s head. The golden mummy though did not become idle as the sarcophagus that it left open suddenly shot out bandages. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝒹.𝑐𝑜𝓂
The bandages soon swirled with sand and created mummy soldiers that the golden mummy then commanded. The mummies created numbered a hundred with fifty being foot soldiers. It also created ten cavalries that rode on ten desert lion mummies.
Next that were created are the thirty mage mummies that could control sand. They used this sand to trap the incoming army or hardened it so that their allies could traverse the environment easily. The mummy army is not in the direct command of Adrian as it was the golden mummy that commanded the mummy army perfectly.
“Summon Primordial Armament: Axe!” Adrian chanted as he needed to deal with lots of enemies.
Adrian who summoned his axe wreaked havoc in the area. The battle would be called a stalemate if not for the fact that it is the sphinx that is controlling the golden army. Adrian who is battling and is focusing his thoughts during battle so he could not block against mind reading.
“Oh! I see. He wants to use the Sands of Time to revert his mentor back to a state that he could move again or else he might die. If it is this boy then I could have someone claim vengeance for me. But he might not comply with the task if we do not make an unbreakable oath.” The sphinx stated as he observed the situation.
“Emperor’s Divide!” The golden mummy suddenly stated about ten seconds before he disappeared.
The hundred mummies that he summoned suddenly fused together to become one giant entity. The hundred mummies became a giant sphinx that measured fifty meters in height. The golden mummy then floated to the head of the sphinx and seated at the throne present at the sphinx’ headdress.
